Dr VanderGriend was very straightforward and easy to talk to. He laid out exactly how the procedure would go and explained his recommendations for treatment clearly. Having a conversation with Dr. VanderGriend before the surgery helped ease any anxiety I had.

Takes time to talk with you about your concerns and takes very good care of his patients both before and during surgery. His staff are all excellent as well. His stitches also are very neat and looks like they will heal to a barely noticable scar.
